It turns out the recording label XL is a freaggin powerhouse. The nicest lineup of artists from Bobby Womack to The XX to SBTRKT to Tyler the Entertainer.

RATKING featuring King Krule - So Sick Stories

chris on March 20 2014

I'm in a super dark place right now. On hold with USPS for close to two hours. I want to hang up... but what if I'm next? Just two more hours and then I'll call it quits. Oddly enough, super New York sounding RATKING matches perfectly with super English sounding King Krule. Both seem like they're deep in the streets.

Foster The People - Best Friend

Alex on March 19 2014

I wen't to Disney World for a few days and immediately returned to a 14 hour work day. 4 Day vacation effectively canceled out in one day. Mickey, also known as the master of my bank account, says what's up.

Metronomy - Love Letters

Alex on March 10 2014

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 31 years old. I will be celebrating with my beautiful girlfriend in a strip mall at the dogfish head ale house and I couldn't be happier.

Black Lips - Funny

Alex on March 06 2014

I just want to be riding around in a boat with a giant pirate flag on it, playing this track at 11, and drinking a bud heavy from a can that's been sitting in an ice cold cooler for 45 minutes. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?? Thanks Obama.

Darkside - The Only Shrine I've Seen

chris on March 05 2014

This is one of those tracks that is not really radio friendly, as they say. Who are they man!? It's like a conspiracy against quality music man! It's like if you don't conform to the norm man, it's like you can't even make it in today's world man.

Chet Faker - Melt

A little funk. A little Hip Hop style. A little bit of errything.

Magic Man - Paris

Alex on March 03 2014

Well. I finally did it. I left NYC to make my home down south. After 8 awesome years in New York I've decided that it's time for me to move on and try my hand at a slower pace of life, back yards, and beaches. This would be a great time to talk shit about NYC and all the reasons I decided to leave but I wont... what I will leave you with is the defining moment where I finally said "Okay get me the fuck out of this place."

As the native New Yorkers know we've had snow on the ground for about 3 months - with snow comes just heaps of trash. (Suddenly trash cans cease to exist when the white stuff covers the ground.) I'm running some errands in Greenpoint and round a street corner, just as I round the corner a bus is taking off from a stop at greater than normal acceleration. The bus manages to fling about 5 pounds of trash directly into my mouth and eyes (through sunglasses mind you). I'm coughing, I'm blind--and then it hit me, a taste - it's salty. My face covered in dirt, pulling hair from my mouth, and trying to spit the salty flavor out.. It was like a homeless man just came in my mouth. That's when I audibly said "okay.. I'm done" and b lined back to my apartment to begin packing.

Dog Candi - The Hound

This song is pretty tough. Check em out at Bossa Nova. Thanks Goldsteezy.

Natural Child - Saturday Night Blues

chris on February 27 2014

One piece of advice to all you young bloods out there. Do what you want when you're young. Fly by the seat of your fucking pants, because before you know it, you are drowning in responsibility. Gasping for a shred of freedom.
